A proposed amendment by Senator Hitchcock would set a window of two to four years after the new Philippine legislature is elected for the United States to withdraw sovereignty and recognize an independent Republic. The president could retain bases and protect American interests while awaiting conditions. If steps toward independence or agreements fail, recognition could be delayed until Congress can act.

Germany offers a discretionary payment as an act of grace, not a legal obligation. Lansing and Count von Bernstorff agree on a settlement form acceptable to the United States.
